To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each shape and count how many sides it has. The number of sides tells us the name of the polygon.
Here is the step-by-step identification for each shape:
1.
Shape 1: This shape has
3 sides. A 3-sided polygon is called a
Triangle.
2.
Shape 2: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon is called a
Quadrilateral. (Specifically, it looks like a rhombus or diamond, but "Quadrilateral" is the general correct name).
3.
Shape 3: This shape has
6 sides. A 6-sided polygon is called a
Hexagon.
4.
Shape 4: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon with opposite sides equal and right angles is a
Rectangle.
5.
Shape 5: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon with opposite sides parallel is a
Parallelogram.
6.
Shape 6: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon with at least one pair of parallel sides is a
Trapezoid.
7.
Shape 7: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon with two pairs of equal-length adjacent sides is a
Kite.
8.
Shape 8: This shape has
4 sides. A 4-sided polygon with all sides equal and right angles is a
Square.
Final Answer:
1. Triangle
2. Quadrilateral
3. Hexagon
4. Rectangle
5. Parallelogram
6. Trapezoid
7. Kite
8. Square
